Yet another loss for the capitals, yet another loss for the capitals in Dallas.

But Brent Johnson, as a goalie who is a starter, who is a backup, who had highs and lows in the

NHL, you have to love what you're seeing from Phoenix Copley and his first chance in the NHL.

Oh, my God. I absolutely, I love everything I see.

You know, from the first time I saw him play in that New Jersey game,

he gets lit up for six, and everyone was calling for, oh, my God, what's going on here?

He was phenomenal in that game.

He's gotten better every single game since.

And, you know, it's just a comfort.

I think that, you know, you can look at the bench.

They can say, well, you know what?

You know, Todd Reardon said, you know what,

I feel comfortable with putting this guy out there

whenever my starting goaltender needs a rest.

And, you know, I think you had that in Philip Grubeauer as well.

But now it's more important to get, you know,

Braden Holpey this rest time knowing that, hey, this is a long haul.

And you're going to need him well rested down the stretch.

So he is, he's playing really, really, really good.

And I expect to see more of the same in the in the future

Ryan billy the power play still an issue one for 27 over the last nine games but we saw some

improvements they're going to score eight power play goals against Detroit Sunday. You heard it here first.
